The Secrets Behind Subway’s Brain-Burrowing Jingle

You probably heard it while you were chopping carrots or clipping your fingernails, and it probably made you drop your curlers to see what the heck it was. Maybe you were disappointed that it was just a Subway commercial advertising $5 foot-long subs or maybe you were impressed that the jingle was so entrancing or maybe you just wished that you had put a towel on before you startled your in-laws sitting on the couch.

KFC once again has something to hide

Kfc
KFC has issued a challenge. Clearly, it’s not chicken. (Sorry.) From the release: “After pioneering the first-ever documented hidden message in a national TV ad in 2006, KFC has pushed the marketing envelope even further by hiding something special in the latest Snacker advertising, both in-store POP and again in broadcast television commercials, giving thousands of Americans a chance to win.” I dunno if I like my fast food coming with hidden “specials,” quite frankly. I flash on a finger, like the one found in French fries in The Hitcher. And KFC’s prize—the “chance to win a free Snacker sandwich”—doesn’t sound so great either. I don’t even want to try to find the hidden message. Is it “Paul is dead?” Actually, he’s at Starbucks. Same thing, basically. Here’s Moby’s latest video, which has a message KFC might find insightful.
